Holiday apartment in Novot: Nature, Culture and Tradition

The nature of Novoť reveals itself at a border point of unusual hydrological significance. Delená voda lies on the border of the cadastral area of Novoť and Poland, where two streams spring from one source. The two streams flowing from this source at Delená voda belong to the drainage basins of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, respectively. This means that the site combines a clearly defined border location with two different waterways. The source also marks the starting point of a dual flow direction: the two streams are not merely named as separate watercourses, but each is assigned to a different sea drainage basin.

Nature

The Pilsko–Babia hora hiking trail runs through the cadastral area of Novoť. The trail is therefore directly connected with the name of the village and its precisely designated cadastral area, without its route being specified in any greater detail beyond that. The name of the trail itself mentions Pilsko and Babia hora as two clearly designated reference points, while the location information relates the route to the cadastral area of Novoť.

Culture

Culture and craftsmanship appear in Novoť in various forms. There are a total of 16 chapels, crosses and wayside shrines in the built-up area and cadastral area of Novoť. Embroidery with traditional patterns and traditional colouring is also produced in Novoť. A carved nativity scene was made by local woodcarvers from Novoť. Sacred symbols, textile work and woodcarving each represent their own cultural connection with the village. These cultural references combine sacred symbols with textile work and carved representations.

History

The historical traces range from a 20th-century building to older examples of craftsmanship and sacred art. The Church of the „Nativity of the Virgin Mary“ in Novoť was built between 1942 and 1948 according to a design by the architect Milan Michal Harminc. Historically, Novoť was one of the places in Upper Orava where weavers processed flax fibres. Folk woodcarvings from the 19th century have been preserved from the former wooden sacred building in Novoť.

Experiences

Another locally specific aspect can be found at Agrokovex. The Agrokovex agripension in Novoť has a riding hall. In winter, sleigh rides are available there. Both details refer to the same agripension and differ in the season mentioned.

Geography

The connection with Poland is also given with a precise distance: the Novoť–Ujsoly border crossing into Poland is 2 km from Novoť.
